Case Study: Planes Companies achieves faster backup and recovery by replacing tape with Asigra cloud backup

Planes Companies cuts recovery time from 5 hours to under 30 minutes with Asigra

Planes Companies, an agent for United Van Lines providing logistics and moving services, faced challenges with its aging tape-based backup system. With yearly data growth of 20%, the company struggled with time-consuming recoveries, difficult management, and frequent hardware failures. Seeking a cloud-based data recovery system, they switched to a solution from vendor Asigra, implemented through IT services provider Yotta280.

The Asigra-powered cloud backup service replaced tape for protecting 3.5TB of data across five locations. The solution dramatically accelerated data recovery, reducing the process from an average of 4-5 hours to under 30 minutes. This provided rapid recovery capability for both data loss and disaster scenarios, saved considerable IT staff time previously spent managing tape, and eliminated the recurring hardware problems of the old system.
